Porter Bay, Ellesmere Island, CAN

Up at 4-30 ready for the long walk to Porter Bay. A disagreeable cold wind and drift in our faces, which ceased somewhat as we approached Sail Harbor. Good walking over the Parry and Feilden Penn. down to Porter Bay. Found the Doctor and his men resting here. He is obliged to travel slowly owing to the condition of Ooblooyah.
Areo and Tan ching-wah started out after hare after supper. Woke me up at 11-30 with one all cooked in the pot. Enjoyed the fresh meat very much.
